Comments from the starting pitcher
Pitcher Arihara
<6 innings, 100 pitches, 25 batters faced, 5 hits, 4 strikeouts, 2 walks, 1 hit by pitch, 2 earned runs allowed>
"I'm disappointed that I got off to a bad rhythm in the first inning and couldn't hold on. However, I'm glad that I was able to recover somewhat from the second inning onwards. I want to pitch even better in my next appearance."
Shinjo Quotations
"Kiyomiya hit an infield single, and I thought he would get another hit in his next at-bat, so (before Kiyomiya's at-bat in the sixth inning) I just wanted to get the runner to second base, so I called for a hit-and-run. Shindo has been hitting really well all along. (He also pulled off a squeeze play) and his bunting has improved too."
